And if I did, I certainly wouldn't tell the world and my employer that I stole from them. I want to work again in this town. I was given one piece of the set from every place that Robin worked. Which is what I wanted. I've got a Scoops Ahoy thing, I've got the video store thing, and I got something from the record store. That's perfect,"
